"It's the same as in the photo, it's really Zhu Ziqing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said a person with a mobile phone excitedly.

"Wow, I've finally seen the seven nights of life. "A beautiful woman who looks like a fan has little stars in her eyes.

"And my husband's ......," Zhu Ziqing said, this must be Ma Cong's fan sister.

"Why did Zhu Ziqing and the principal get together, do the two of them know each other?" a certain melon-eating crowd asked.

"Have you forgotten that StarCraft is a game of Seven Nights? The two of them must know each other. The person next to him explained his confusion.

“…… Seven Nights, I'm your fan, sign me a name. Sign it here. A beautiful woman pointed to the turbulence on her chest and said.

Just glanced at it, and Zhu Ziqing looked away embarrassedly. 36D, and at the same time this mysterious number also appeared in his mind. As for what it meant, Zhu Ziqing said that he didn't know.

"Why don't we have an autograph session before the game starts?" Ma Cong encouraged.

He remembered that from becoming famous to the present, Zhu Ziqing has not participated in a fan meeting, let alone an autograph session.

So far, apart from the occasional die-hard fans of Seven Nights House, I haven't heard of anyone getting it from any other source.

In private, his signature was sold at a very high price, and it was still hard to find a 'name'. The people who get his autograph are die-hard fans, and they usually don't take it lightly.

If Zhu Ziqing had come here for an autograph session today, it would have been headlines. By the way, this interstellar finals will also be paid more attention to.

"Put away your little fancy intestines. Zhu Ziqing ruthlessly exposed his 'hypocrisy'.

"You really don't think about it anymore, aren't you afraid of disappointing your fans?" Ma Cong said without a little embarrassment.

"Stop, do you think I'm so easy to deceive. Zhu Ziqing said angrily.

But seeing that there were so many people around, it was not good for him not to say anything, so he stretched out his hands to signal to everyone and said, "Everyone be quiet." ”

It took several shouts in a row before the crowd gradually quieted down. Everyone wanted to hear what the big celebrity had to say.

"It's a pleasure for all of you to be here at the Star World Finals, it's an honor for us. I'd like to talk to you a little bit more, but the game is about to start, so let's get in there so as not to delay the normal progress of the game.

As for autographs, I will prepare some autographs later, and after the competition, I will draw some lucky spectators as souvenirs for everyone. Thank you. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ziqing walked to the competition venue under the escort of the entourage.

He didn't say anything long, after all, the time, the place, and the audience were not suitable. Just say a few words and make the meaning clear.

And these people are also here to play now, and they don't want to listen to other people's long lectures. They came around just out of curiosity, wanting to see what the world-famous Zhu Ziqing looked like. So no matter what he says, everyone won't care.

So after meeting him in person and listening to him say a few words, I found that the celebrity is also a nose and two eyes. After satisfying his curiosity, seeing that Zhu Ziqing was leaving, he took the initiative to get out of the way.

The main reason why everyone is so conscious is that they are not Zhu Ziqing's brainless fans. Otherwise, the scene is really hard to control.

As soon as I walked to the door of the venue, the person in charge of the scene immediately greeted me. There is no way, one is the top boss, the other is a business tycoon, and he can't afford to offend either.

"Manager Hou, have you counted how many spectators there are in total?" Zhu Ziqing asked as he walked.

"There were more than 1,400 people who came to watch the game. More than 200 of them are from other countries, and more than 700 are fans of games in our country. The rest are the people around who come to see the excitement. Manager Hou replied respectfully.

"More than 1,400 people?" Zhu Ziqing was a little surprised, and sighed in his heart when he was confirmed, it was really the era of entertainment to death.

Many traditional literary events have been held for many sessions, and the number of audiences is not as large as the number of participants. This is the first time that StarCraft has held a tournament that can be watched by more than a thousand spectators.

It's no wonder that the influence of esports in previous lives is comparable to that of traditional sports, and it's not for nothing.

"What about the format?"

"The schedule is divided into two stages, the group stage and the knockout stage. The group stage is when 32 teams are divided into four groups of eight. The first round is a single double round-robin match between the teams in the group, and the two teams with the highest winning points advance to the quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals are a knockout round, where the first place in each group and the second place in the group are played, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminated. The same goes for semi-finals and finals. ”

"It's the first round of the group stage. Manager Hou finally added.

While listening to his introduction, he walked towards the arena.

The venue is very large, and it is not a problem to fit two or three thousand people. It is surrounded by interstellar posters and models. There are two rows of computers on the left and right sides of the podium, and there is no doubt that this is the election of the chief.

In the center of the podium hangs a huge LCD screen, which is used to broadcast the game......

Zhu Ziqing couldn't say that he was satisfied with the layout of the main arena, but he didn't have much opinion. Compared with the layout of the LOL competition in the previous life, the layout in front of me is indeed a bit simple.

But after all, it is the first time that such a competitive competition has been held, and the domestic professional e-sports competition has not yet formed a scale, or even a system at all. It's nice to have such an arrangement.

After walking around, I compared it with the scene of some e-sports competitions in my previous life, and I had a bottom in my heart. At this time, it happened that the time for the game was also up, and Manager Hou asked the two of them if they wanted to go to the stage to speak and encourage everyone.

Zhu Ziqing definitely didn't have this interest, so he refused directly. Ma Cong was indispensable, and when he saw that Zhu Ziqing didn't go, he didn't go.

Then Manager Hou went to the front desk to host the game, leaving Zhu Ziqing and the two in the office.

"How about it, you have also seen the scene, and the situation has been understood, are you still satisfied with my work?" Ma Cong said proudly while lying on the sofa.

"It's okay, it's much more formal than most esports competitions in China. Zhu Ziqing's implication is that he is better than his domestic counterparts now. But it's a little worse than I thought. However, it is obvious that Ma Cong did not hear it.

"Don't compare them to me, those people are just a bunch of loose sand, and they don't have any long-term plans. I'm ready to make esports a career. Ma Cong was full of disdain for those peers.

"I've surveyed that there has been a shift in the perception of video games, and the attitude towards them is not just a boycott. When the base of game enthusiasts is large, there will be soil for the development of e-sports. ”

"I plan to spend two to three years standardizing the esports industry and developing industry standards for esports. To make this industry bigger and stronger, it is not impossible to break hands with traditional sports competitions. ”

Zhu Ziqing nodded and didn't say anything. Ma Cong wanted to engage in e-sports, he already knew that Ma Cong should have told him when they met for the first time. That's why he gave him the matter of the interstellar game.

The foundation of StarCraft is very good, and fans are all over the world. Perfect Games itself can also host such a contest. Why give up such an opportunity to Ma Cong?

It is because Zhu Ziqing considered that the domestic e-sports industry is too chaotic. If you want to do a good job in such a situation, there are too many trivial things to do.

He also thought about regulating the industry, which is not easy to do. In addition, Skynet Group is also developing rapidly, so there is no time to take care of this aspect of things. It's simply cheaper Ma Cong.

It can't be said to be cheap, it's more accurate to say win-win.

The environment of e-sports is better, and it is their game companies that benefit the most.

Take StarCraft as an example, a World Finals has made the game more influential, and it has also strengthened communication, popularizing many high-end gameplay and routines through competitions. Through the collision of masters, more new ways to play are stimulated, which increases the fun of the game.

Then there is the development of peripherals, the influence is greater, the development of game peripherals is more thorough, the more it sells, and the more money it makes.

And the tournament itself can also make money, what commercial sponsorship, game broadcast fees, tickets, etc., on the whole, e-sports do a good job for their company and no harm.

"There's a lot more you have to do to make esports comparable to traditional sports. That's not a long way from what is in front of you. Zhu Ziqing meant something.

"Of course I know no, it's not the first time I've done it, I don't have any experience. But listening to your tone, it seems that you have some thoughts, don't hide it, and say it quickly. "Ma Cong is very smart, how can he not hear what he is saying.

"First of all, if you want to make an industry bigger and stronger, you can't rely on a game alone. Zhu Ziqing said.

"I know, if you don't say this, I'll go to you. How about handing over the right to compete in Counter-Strike to me?" Ma Cong also climbed up the pole.

"There's no rush on this matter first, let's talk about the competitive game first. How could Zhu Ziqing agree so easily: "Let's talk about professional players again." ”

"If you are good at Olympiad mathematics, you can add points in the college entrance examination, and if you are good at sports, you can be an athlete and win glory for the country. But if you play the game well and win the world championship, I am afraid that the school will consider whether students like you will teach bad classmates and ruin the school atmosphere, and parents will also worry about their children's playthings losing their minds. ”

"If you don't reverse this concept, esports will not be able to develop at all. ”

"It's hard, and while there's not as much resistance to video games as it used to be, there's still a long way to go to get them to support it. As for the sense of honor to win glory for the country, it is even more nonsense. For this, Ma Cong also felt very painful. The lack of mainstream acceptance of video games is the biggest obstacle to development.

"It's not easy to change that notion, but it's not as hard as you think. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.

"Oh, what's the solution, say it quickly. Ma Cong sat up from the sofa and asked.
